Homemade/organic liquid tomato feed
 
Does anyone have a recipe for homemade liquid feed/ fertilizer for tomatoes?

I live in Denmark where gardening products are expensive and am growing
my own tomatoes for the first time this year and most books tell me that
they need a liquid feed every 2 weeks. Someone suggested compost tea?
Any other ideas?

Seaweed is an excellent fertiliser for toms and can be diluted as nettles
would be, I would think.

I remember my father would have us collecting sheep excrement from the
fields he put it in a hessian sack and suspended this in a water butt. If
memory serves well it was very effective but smelly to collect with bare
hands.

Start a worm bin PDQ the liquid generated from that is excellent for
Tomatoes Clematis etc
